A quiet resort on a sparsely developed stretch of coast — a good fit for some trips, not others
Radisson sits on the Tien Thanh coast, about ten kilometers from central Phan Thiet. What defines this place is quiet — and that same trait is exactly why it doesn't suit every kind of trip.
What this resort does best
Genuinely quiet, not just marketing
The Tien Thanh coast is sparsely populated with few shops. At night it's almost just the sound of waves — something a resort in the town center simply can't offer.
A spacious, green property
Walking around the grounds becomes an activity in itself, not just getting from A to B. A good fit for older travelers or anyone here to truly rest.
An uncrowded beach
No fighting for a lounge spot, no walking far to find open space. This is the biggest difference from a beach in the town center.
And here's the other side
Few articles mention this part, but it decides whether the trip actually feels right.
- There's almost nothing outside the gate. Want to eat out, buy something, or switch things up? You'll need your own transport. Ride-hailing apps often can't find a driver out here.
- Dining is mostly on-site. Convenient, but pricier than outside, and eating at the same place every day gets old on a longer stay.
- Nothing much happens in the evening. A plus if you're here to rest. A real drawback if your group wants an evening scene.
- Road DT 719 is quiet and dimly lit at night. If you're on a motorbike, plan to be back before full dark.
The deciding question: is this trip about resting or doing things. If it's about rest, this quiet stretch of coast is exactly what you're looking for. If it's about enjoying the parks inside NovaWorld, staying closer to them is far more convenient — saving an hour or more on every trip back and forth.
Compared with two other types of stay nearby
| Criteria | Quiet coastal resort | A villa inside the resort | A hotel in the town center |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nighttime quiet | Highest | Decent — depends on the cluster | Low |
| Close to the theme parks | Needs a vehicle | Walk or shuttle | Needs a vehicle |
| Dining outside | Very few options | Available, needs transport | Most options |
| A group of 6–8 | Multiple rooms needed | One whole unit, with a kitchen | Multiple rooms needed |
| A pure rest trip | Best fit | A good fit | Less suited |
How to schedule a stay if you choose this option
Don't plan anything
You'll typically arrive around midday or afternoon. Spend the rest of that day on the grounds and the beach — it's also when you'll feel most clearly why you chose a quiet spot.
Batch every trip out into one day
If you're heading out, do it all at once: Ke Ga in the morning, the fishing village on the way back, then return in the afternoon to rest. Don't spread it across multiple days — the drive takes real time.
Get up early for one last beach visit
This stretch of coast is at its best at dawn, and also its quietest. This is the part most guests regret missing.
MH Travel operates rental villas inside the NovaWorld resort, not this property. We wrote this because guests often ask us to compare — and the honest answer is that these two types of stay serve two different kinds of trip. A couple looking to unwind will find a quiet coastal resort a better fit than a 4-bedroom villa.
Who should choose this, who shouldn't
A good choice if you're traveling as a couple, with older relatives, or your main goal is resting and reading by the sea. Also worth it if you've already visited Phan Thiet many times and have lost interest in the usual sightseeing list.
Skip it if you're traveling in a large group and plan to cook, if your trip centers on the parks inside the resort, or if anyone in your group wants an evening scene. In those three cases, this place will feel confining rather than peaceful.
How far is a Tien Thanh resort from central Phan Thiet?
About ten kilometers along the coastal road. Not far, but this stretch is quiet with few services, so you'll still want your own transport.
Can I eat outside the resort?
Very few options nearby. Most guests eat on-site or drive into the town center. Plan ahead for this if staying multiple days.
Is it a good fit for a large group?
A group of six or more will need multiple rooms with no shared kitchen. In that case, a whole villa is usually a better fit.
Is there anything to do in the evening?
Almost nothing. A plus if you're here to rest, and a real drawback if anyone in your group wants an evening scene.
